Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national who reportedly entered the US in 2021 under then-President Joe Biden's 'Operation Allies Welcome' and later overstayed his visa, has become the focus of a possible act of international terrorism. A viral photo shows him almost naked as first responders load him into an ambulance after the attack. Investigators say he allegedly ambushed two National Guard members near the White House. The shooting left both guards critically injured, and with the motive still unknown, Lakanwal’s background and actions have drawn intense public and political scrutiny.

Hit by ‘Rubber bullets’ ?

I’d like to think our guys stripped him to rule out a suicide vest. That being said, I’d prefer to see a lot more holes in his worthless hide...... I’m not seeing any.

By tomorrow morning, the democrats will start to parade Afghan women with the towels saying that they’re all peaceful victims.

A good time to remember that 18 of the 19 9/11 terrorists overstayed their visas and became unlawful overstays after their authorized periods expired.

I say, put her panties on his head and send it viral!

Did he attack the National Guardsmen in the buff?

No. Clothes removed to prevent potential "Allahu Akbar" self-detonation.

I’d say they strip searched him. My only complaint looking at the nude pic is he’s not bleeding enough.
